Simon and Emily look like a couple that has it all.
Simon is a respected physician, one of Baltimore's "Top Docs,"
with a burgeoning private practice. His wife, Emily, shines
professionally as a partner in a premier public relations firm.
They have a beautiful house and a healthy daughter. But their
marriage is scarred by old, hidden wounds. Even as Simon tends
his patients' ills, and Emily spins away her clients' mistakes,
they can't seem to do the same for themselves or their relationship.

Simon becomes convinced he's discovered a cure for chronic pain,
a finding that could become the major medical breakthrough of our
time. With reckless zeal and obsessive focus, he begins to recruit
patients to test the therapy. As he yearns to prove he's a good
doctor—and to make amends for a missed diagnosis years ago—he is
oblivious to the pain he's causing at home. Emily, still struggling
to move beyond the devastating loss she and Simon suffered fifteen
years ago, comes to realize she hasn't felt anything for a long
time-that is, until a lover from her past reappears and she's forced
to examine her marriage anew.

Remedies explores the complicated nature of pain, in the nerves of the
body and the longings of the heart. To what lengths would you go to avoid
feeling pain? And would you believe in a cure?
